Pretty busy night thanks to a new Shapeways delivery. had time to almost finish assembling this high mobility Vajra and I have to say this is really a beasty! Sunce it uses screws and 0,7mm copper wires, it is far sturdier than the previous one. And the bigger size and better proportions make it fantastic! I am really happy of the result. I will get more picture once painted
-
I am not really fan of milia great great daughter... of of its red/pinkish paint scheme. So I am glad I didn't have to watch over the pre-order window. BTW I couldn't pre-order Hayate's 31J, but still could grab one at retail price after release day at NY. Same for the Draken III that I found on AE, so don't be too anxious. Scalpers can keep their copies, I will never buy from them again!

Yes, this is this part we are speaking of. There is no replacement for it. As described, this is the closest that you can get without the lower triangle, using this.
-
Yes but the cover is orange compared to the red stripe on the Arcadia. The Yamato had it right -
Strange that nobody commented the canopy cover color...
-
I am really curious to see the result of the metallic finish on the X-9, don't forget to post pictures Jasonc of the process.
-
Thom, that gold is amazing: do you remember which paint / brand it is? I dislike the Humbrol enamel Gold n'16 and trying to find a greater one!
-
That would be an epic Ghost paint scheme!
-
The white on the Arcadia 0s is much better, also if you plan to display battroid mode I would highly recommend both Arcadia 0s and 0A because of the better head sculpt, proportions etc. In fighter mode, I think the Yamato 0A is good enough, apart that I also prefer the paint details on the 0A (canopy painting is accurate on Arcadia and you got more grey shades than with the Yamato)
-
That's the same phenomenon with the gold on the sv262, in artificial light it looks almost orange but in sun light it's more like champagne.
-
Awesome work wm cheng!
-
Ho thanks! For the moment now, I am afraid to transform it. I will waits bit more
-
Just receive the Draken, the paint job is beautiful! BUT... It looks undersized ? Looking at the front of the fighter mode and the canopy, I cannot stop thinking that this SV 262 should be at least 10% bigger as it is now, or as big as the VF-31 and even bigger ?
-
Haha I can imagine the nightmare for the scalpers with thousands of M&M to absorb
-
That's Chronocidal's original idea, I am just the executioner

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Amazing pictures all! -
Received the two antennas for the Hayate 31J today and they look good as a replacement. The first version is a straight one just like the original, the second one goes nicer against the fuselage. I also made a steel version but it didn't fit well because it was too hard and heavy.
-
The last lightning step is incredible, I wish I could make that too! Can you elaborate where you gather the material?
-
If i can pay the premium price for higher quality, I will do it. The question is when the KO quality reaches and goes beyond the original product like the MPP-10... would I also buy the original MP-10 that looks too small but is licensed and costs 4x the better KO one? Well the TF exemple is not a good one because the price difference also resides in the fact that the increase is due to local importer and resellers margins, that Arcadia doesn't have
-
Seriously saburo?! Thanks god i got one copy coming already otherwise I would be urged to buy one. I don't know if this is the model or your simply you getting better at shooting macross stuffs, but this 262 is the best looking valk pictures ever.

Well I guess I can clean the last three sets, if that can be helpful
-
Wmkjr received a set that was clean of the sprues, and all the holes were pre-drilled. Generally it takes about 40min to clean the sprues, test fit the parts and drilling the holes, a few parts can be slightly curved or torn, they need to be heated with an air dryer and then straighten. For an experience builder, with a rotary tool (or nail sander + vice pin) this should be a piece of cake of course.

Hi all, I recently had a commissionned painted Ghost X-9, and I made the inventory of the remaining sets I got. I got one last complete set (unpainted, with landing gears and clear canopy) that I can sell at the standard price and 3 rough sets I am willing $50 USD each. Because it takes time to prepare the resin part to clean/sand/prepare for painting, I want to sold out the remaining rough sets. They are un-refined, with small injection sprues as it is pictured in 1st page within a plastic bag. In order to clean the set, it requires a good knowledge of the assembled ghost, I would make this deal with people who previously ordered a ghost so they can have a comparison/guide to clean up the set. The rough sets once assembled are a complete ghost X-9 with super parts, except for the clear canopy, all the opening traps would need to be glued in fixed position. Or if you are courageous, I can make the missing parts needed for the moving parts and landing gears available in plastic and steel at shapeways or printableb 3D file that you can print yourself.
-
The M&M VF-1 are really suspicious, don't you think it would be only the super parts with their specific coloring?
-
I think too. If they ever could make a YF-19 that easily, they could also take over bandai and Arcadia and make their own business with licensing etc
